Proposals should include a description of the issue that the panel will address, an explanation of the relevance of the topic to more than one discipline/field and an indication of how each paper addresses the issue. Proposals should include a 600-word abstract for the panel as a whole. Duration of the discussion period will be determined by the number of presenters.

Poster Presentation:

Proposals should describe the research project in a 1000-word outline including its relationship to the symposium’s theme. Posters will be on display throughout the event, with authors available for a designated time.
